    So the entertainment you receive watching the movie isn’t also a service?

      No. The work that went into making the movie has already been paid for. The vast majority if not all of the profits from selling and renting the movie goes to the billionaire movie studios.

      At the cinema, there’s a projectionist showing you the movie and maintenance crew making sure you can do so in a pleasant environment, people working the concession stand etc.

      Those are services. Owning the “rights” to something that someone else made isn’t.

        Who paid for it and have you paid them for the access what they now own?
